M Road Rage: More likely in Utah than LA SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - Utah cities have a higher per capita rate of deaths due to aggressive driving. than many of thenation's largest metropolitan areas. A new study by the Surface Transportation Project, a coalition mostly of environmental groups, says better mass transit systems in other cities take more commuters off the road. In Utah, however, less convenient mass transit makes driving both more necessary and more frustrating. The report used federal data for the first comparison of aggres-siveLdriving death rates among states and cities. It said Utah ranked 17th worst among the states - with 9.7 deaths per 100.000 people in 1996 from such traffic violations as speeding over 80 mph, weaving, tailgating and running stop signs and red lights. Utah was placed in the top third of states with the deadliest rates of aggressive driving. The rales by metropolitan area in Utah were 6.2 deaths per 100,000 people in Salt Lake City. 7.46 in Ogden. 8.0 in Provo-Orem. and 8.24 in Logan. All those Utah cities ranked worse than some big cities where aggressive driving might be more expected, such as Los Angeles (6.0 deaths per 100,000 people). Detroit (4.9). Chicago (4.5), Washington. D.C. (4.1). and New York City (2.6). "States where more people walk, bicycle or use the bus or train tend to have much lower aggressive driving rates," the study said. "States with lower transit use and more miles of highway per person had much higher aggressive driving rates." It noted that in Utah, 73.9 percent of people drive a car to work. Meanwhile, it said only 2.3 percent take mass transit and 3.4 percent walk. In New York City, which has among the lowest aggressive driving death rates in the nation, 23.7 percent of people take mass transit to work; 6.1 percent walk; and 55.7 percent drive. . "Residents of metro areas with low transit use were 61 percent more likely to die in an aggressive driving crash than people who live in areas with high transit use," the study said. It also noted, "In a nationwide survey of transit users. 59 percent said they take the bus or train in order to avoid stress." The study blamed urban sprawl for many problems. "The endless strip malls and high-speed roads we're building seem to be a breeding ground for aggressive driving," said STP Executive Director Roy Kientz. The study said traffic-fatality rates are lower in cities that have compact neighborhoods with their own business districts, where more people can walk to work or shop or drive short distances.

One issue from the current school year was submitted at the conference in Minneapolis on Friday for judges to examine while staff members attended classes presented by Pulitzer Prize winning journalists. Classes on how to improve the quality of a newspaper from topics such as manag-ing staff members to sessions on ivpogra- phy. "The classes were really great.

The Associate Collegiate Press awarded The College Times with the Overall Excellence Award in the two year category. Newspapers were judged in several areas such as design, content, and art.
